Tesla Was Robbed

Today is Nikola Tesla’s 155th Birthday! Tesla was a scientist and inventor, who among other things, played a key role in the adoption of alternating current, heavily influenced the field of electromagnetism, and gave Thomas Edison a run for his money in the war of currents.

Being an uber-nerd and huge fan of Tesla, I whipped up a quick Tesla-themed cartoon painting for this momentous occasion (full version below). I also found this great short story video about Tesla on YouTube.

Wouldn’t it be great to see more Tesla artwork and recognition for this brilliant scientist? Why not make your own Tesla art or video? Let’s end Tesla’s era of being under appreciated.
